the third night of a festival, vibrating from the blissful peaks of the evening. That&#8217;s when the thought arrives: <i>I should try and put something like this together<\/i>. Maybe the notion has come to you only once on a really special night, or you get the desire every time you enjoy music in a space with other people. But if the event you&#8217;re at has done its job \u2014 if it feels like a sanctuary from the outside world sprouting the seeds of a new community \u2014 the prospect of creating your own can feel like a bolt of lightening.\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            But that electricity can be neutralized by the hardest part of any new project: getting started. The anxiety of underplanning, underpreparing, or otherwise failing can be overwhelming: <i>Maybe it&#8217;s best if someone more experienced does it,<\/i> you think. But nobody other than you could throw the party that&#8217;s in your head, because nobody but you has the ideas and the community swimming around <i>right now<\/i>. And the internet&#8217;s mass greyscaling of modern life has only deepened the hunger for passionate events created by real people. There&#8217;s no time like the present, sure, but the present is also a <i>really<\/i> good time to throw a party.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Over email, we asked 8 artists and event planners of varying experience for their advice on how to throw a show. Some of them have only done house parties with their friends; others have put on wildly successful music festivals. But taken all together, their pointers will leave you more confident and better equipped for organizing a gig that leave others inspired to do the same.\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274929\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<hr><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274931\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power_Source\"><\/span>\n        <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/powersource.systems\/\">Power Source<\/a><br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <small>L.A-based label and party series<\/small>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            <b>Co-founder David:<\/b> Hosting shows in a chaotic yet beautiful city like Los Angeles comes with endless highs and lows. From police raids to dancing on walls of speakers inside foggy, bass-thumping warehouses, every night tests your love for the scene. The heart of Power Source has always been friendship \u2014 five of us (Ddos, Henny, Junior, Brandon, and myself, David) investing paycheck to paycheck to build and put together our own sound system from the ground up. True DIY in every way.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            From the start, we didn\u2019t want to just fit in, we wanted to innovate, to push the scene forward and keep it from going stagnant. Inspired by early rave culture and by doing the homework, we built our world through design, producing die-cut flyers, with the help from our friend DJ Flapjack, to creating dissolving gas station pills, lottery scratchers, MP3 players, cigarette boxes etc. Physical memories people could hold onto and talk about.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            True collaboration drives us and working with good friends that assist in putting our parties together and LA crews like Neurotek, United Selektor Network, and key hang out spots like  Nothing Usual ran by our OG, Francis who all share similar views and manifestos of creating parties that are built around the music and providing unique experiences for the real protectors of the scene. We\u2019ve lost and gained so much, but everything always goes back into keeping the project alive. It\u2019s the music, the people who come and support these shows, and the hope \u2014 to inspire the next generation that will keep the underground moving. \n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\"

Everyone&#8217;s lives are so busy these days, especially in a hectic city like Toronto, so you really want to make it worth it for people to leave the house.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            That&#8217;s why at Wavelength we put a lot of thought into curating every element: Choose the most interesting and exciting bands or performers or DJs, maybe someone coming through town who hasn&#8217;t played here in a while (or ever) or a local hero coming out of retirement, hopefully someone who will draw a few people and pair them with some deserving locals in a complementary but not identical style, who will <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate the chance to play for a new crowd.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Choose the right venue for the lineup, somewhere where the acoustics suit the music you&#8217;ve selected and ideally has an amazing sound system (and sound tech, of course). If you can&#8217;t find a place that works, try and see if you can go the DIY route and transform an unconventional space into a music venue for one night (warning: this can cost a lot more money than you might be ready for).\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            And then think about visual presentation: connect with some artists that can animate the space and the stage with installations or projections that will make the space look stunning. We&#8217;ve all been to lots of shows at bars and while that&#8217;s fun, at Wavelength since we only do one show per month, we like to make our concerts into special occasions.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Make sure all your staff and security have safe space training, to ensure attendees feel comfortable and well taken care &#8211; it&#8217;s really important for us to make all our shows warm, welcoming environments where people know to treat each other with respect. And make sure you get lots of rest and get to enjoy the show yourself!\n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274940\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<hr><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274933\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kellen_Baker_of_Good_Flying_Birds\"><\/span>\n        Kellen Baker of Good Flying Birds<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <small>Guitarist for the Indiana jangle pop band<\/small>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\n            I like to think about every bad experience I&#8217;ve had at a show and avoid those things. Big scary bouncers, egotistical sound guys, expensive drinks, none of that stuff. The rest is just people believing in the power of love, community, and rock and roll.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            Give yourself a to-do\/check list \u2014 sufficient power, mics and cables and stands, check on what they need for backline, what they need to feel comfortable and taken care of. You\u2019re inviting people into a situation where primal instincts come out and they might slam or make a mess depending on the music, [so] just try to prepare the space for that and mentally prepare for that. Asking for money is the hardest part but I just get on the mic between songs and say \u201chey they\u2019re here from California let\u2019s keep them on the road and fed\u201d and that usually works okay. Otherwise, don\u2019t stress and let the music guide you.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=120511778\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/rottenapplelabel.bandcamp.com\/album\/good-flying-birds-talulahs-tape\">good flying birds: talulah&#8217;s tape by good flying birds<\/a><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274941\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<hr><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274934\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"h_pruz\"><\/span>\n        h. pruz<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <small>N.Y.C.-based singer-songwriter<\/small>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            The first time I threw a show was at a family party hall across the street from my apartment in New York City. It was also 12 hours long. I think what I\u2019ve learned from that show and since is how crucial it is to ask for help from local businesses (silly and simple but\u2026true).  Even the pizza shop or ice cream parlour around the corner might be down to help finance or contribute to your show if it\u2019s doing something interesting and subverts venue culture.

My friends and I used to throw these gigs out of our place called the Adams House and the one neighbors we had that weren\u2019t other college kids would leave for the night or the weekend as soon as they caught wind of what was happening. They never called the cops or anything.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            We threw a Monday night show once for Radiator Hospital when the police did show up, and the neighbor came out asking to keep it down after and seemed genuinely distraught. I found out later that he and his fam would go to the burbs to stay with the grandparents because one of his children had some sensory issues and would get overwhelmed by the noise. It would be quicker for them to leave for the night and let the college kids be than wait for the cops, plus he did not want to be a bother. I still feel really bad about this, especially now that I have a toddler. Have fun and everything, but just check in with your neighbors before you throw a whole function.\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            <iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1934471237\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/frontlawn.bandcamp.com\/album\/god-made-the-highway\">God Made The Highway by Lawn<\/a><\/iframe>\n          <\/p>\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274944\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<hr><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274939\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Crystal_Xia\"><\/span>\n        Crystal Xia<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <small>Founder, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hulahoop.nyc\/\">Hula Hoop<\/a><\/small>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            We started our party because we felt inspired by our favorite parties that curated a very specific vibe.

This is really hard to do in 2025 \u2014 you really have to love music and really be bold to ask others to help out and lean in to make this work. \n          <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content_block paragraph triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274946\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/40030006_sarjhe\/photo-from-hula-hoop-by-crystal-leww.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"How to throw a perfect show\"><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      Photo from Hula Hoop by Crystal Leww<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><br \/>\n      \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-274989\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<h5 class=\"headline\" style=\"margin-bottom: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Kabir_Khanna\"><\/span>\n        Kabir Khanna<br \/>\n      <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            <small>Founder, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hdf.online\/\">Hast du Feuer<\/a> \/ Programming Director, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_new\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/transmission.dc\/\">Transmission DC<\/a><\/small>\n          <\/p>\n<p>\n            My best piece of advice for those trying to organize their own shows or to get on bills themselves is truly tap into your local scene and SHOW UP to those gigs.
